May 22, 2014 - Automatic pipe sizing is now available in the latest version of Farm Works™ Surface software - version 2014.07. The new feature allows contractors and farmers to decrease errors and increase efficiency when designing farm drainage systems.

August 1, 2014 - Farm Works Software® has released version 2014.09.36 of the Office software.

Enhancements include:

Create Topographic Maps Using Other Layers (Surface) – utilize 3rd party elevation data for drainage designs. Prior versions of Farm Works Surface only supported elevation data from Trimble’s FmX® display or the WM-Topo™ survey system. Now you can create a drainage design from elevation collected from yield data or some other source; however, it is recommended to use elevation data that was mapped with RTK accuracy.

Replant Fix (Mapping) – fixed variety maps so they account for replants. If a part of a field is replanted, the variety map will only show the replanted variety (based on the date of the job).

Added Skip Option for Read Job Data (Mapping) - added option to Skip Confirming Supplies, Equipment & People in Read Job Data. If the data being imported has all of the required attributes and this option is selected, the user will no longer have to click OK in each of the properties box.

Customers of the Office software who are subscribed to the Update Service Plan (USP) will automatically receive these features by selecting “Check for Updates" located under the Help menu. Another option is to use the download link: http://www.farmworks.com/support/downloads.php

April 8, 2014 - We asked Chris Eschhofen of Eschhofen Systems to give us some quick tips in soil sampling. His company samples thousands of acres in Northwest Ohio while providing consulting services from the collected data. Chris utilizes the Farm Works™ Mobile software and the rugged Yuma® computer. One of the reasons he has enjoyed the Yuma was due to the ruggedness and large screen – two features that are very important in terms of outside use.
